Blue Cat Audio - Late Replies

Late Replies is Blue Cat Audio's creative delay and reverb workstation. Underneath it's a delay machine, but every tap and feedback loop has plugin slots, so you can drop effects, including your own third-party plugins, right inside the echoes. That makes it far more than a delay.

How it works

There's an 8-tap pattern section with its own mixer and plugin slots, plus two nested feedback loops with crossfeed and more slots. Thirty built-in effects cover modulation, EQ and filters, dynamics, pitch and frequency shifting, wave shaping and more, and anything that runs as VST, VST3 or AU can go in there too, with latency compensation. Ducking with internal or external side chain, tempo sync and a global stereo spread control are built in, and brickwall limiters on the feedback and output protect your ears when things run away.

The sound

Tape echoes that degrade with every repeat, pitch-shifted shimmer, rhythmic multi-tap patterns, filtered dub delays and dense reverb-like clouds. The easy mode lets you browse and tweak presets quickly; the full editor is where you build your own.

Where it fits

Sound design, dub and ambient production, guitar, and anyone who's bored of delays that only repeat. Several hundred presets get you going.
